Diazoxide, a KATP Channel Opener, Prevented Ethanol-Induced Gastric Ulceration in Rats
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Ethanol-induced acute gastric ulceration (EIGU) is widely studied. ATP dependent potassium channel (KATP) modulators are thought to interfere with some physiologic functions of the stomach. We have studied the effects of different doses of KATP modulators (diazoxide as agonist and glibenclamide as antagonist) on EIGU in rats. Gastric lesions were quantified. Fasting blood glucose (FBS) levels were measured enzymatically. EIGU was prevented by diazoxide and aggravated by glibenclamide. Diazoxide increased and glibenclamide decreased FBS respectively. The present study shows that KATP modulators are involved in the production of EIGU with a mechanism which remains to be elucidated.

متن کاملAmelioration of oxidative mitochondrial DNA damage and deletion after renal ischemic injury by the KATP channel opener diazoxide.
Renal ischemia was induced in the rat by constriction of the renal artery for 45 min, and the ability of the ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channel opener diazoxide (DZ) to ameliorate renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury was evaluated. In this model, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine were elevated 2 days after I/R injury but returned closer to normal levels by 7 days after reperfusion. Histolo...
متن کاملSulfonylurea and K+-Channel Opener Sensitivity of KATP Channels
The sensitivity of K(ATP) channels to high-affinity block by sulfonylureas and to stimulation by K(+) channel openers and MgADP (PCOs) is conferred by the regulatory sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) subunit, whereas ATP inhibits the channel through interaction with the inward rectifier (Kir6.2) subunit. Phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) profoundly antagonized ATP inhibition of K(ATP) c...

OBJECTIVES To examine the effect of diazoxide on hypoxia-induced soluble fms-like tyrosin kinase-1 (sFlt-1) release in JEG-3 choriocarcinoma cells. METHODS Cells were cultured under normoxia (20% O2) or hypoxia (1% O2), and expression of sFlt-1 mRNA and protein release was determined by quantitative real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assays and enzyme-linked i...
متن کاملRegulation of KATP Channel Activity by Diazoxide and MgADP
KATP channels were reconstituted in COSm6 cells by coexpression of the sulfonylurea receptor SUR1 and the inward rectifier potassium channel Kir6.2. The role of the two nucleotide binding folds of SUR1 in regulation of KATP channel activity by nucleotides and diazoxide was investigated. Mutations in the linker region and the Walker B motif (Walker, J.E., M.J. Saraste, M.J. Runswick, and N.J. Ga...
